Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasingly recognized as a major health problem worldwide. Objectives: (1) To evaluate the malondialdehyde concentration and kynurenine and tryptophan ratio for differences between CKD patients and healthy controls. (2) To analyze the relationship and correlation between these biomarker indexes and some risk factors of CKD.

Streptococcal disease caused by Streptococcus iniae is without doubt one of the major bacterial diseases in fish. It has been reported to cause significant mortality in more than 12 different aquaculture species. Its distribution is worldwide in both freshwater and marine environments. The annual impact to aquaculture has been estimated to be over US$100 million. However, in the past, very few reports have described its presence in Asia.
